Is GM really trying to sell on the notion that the engine in the GXP cost $8K more than the one in the GT?

The people buying these cars have seen no wage inflation since then (at least the ones lucky enough to not have gotten a cut). If the car companies keep down the road their on, they are going to find out what happens if they price their cars beyond the ability of their customers to buy them.
